ICCPR concluding observations 2024, paragraph 45

The State party should provide full and effective protection of stateless persons residing in the jurisdictions of the State party in line with international standards, including the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. It should also intensify its efforts to ensure that no person becomes or remains stateless, by granting citizenship or by issuing identity documents to stateless persons, where appropriate; to guarantee the right of every child to acquire a nationality; and to develop effective mechanisms to address the situation of stateless persons, ensuring that any detention of individuals claiming statelessness is reasonable, necessary and proportionate, in accordance with the Committee’s general comment No. 35 (2014) on liberty and security of person, that alternatives to detention are found in practice and that legal assistance is provided to them.
